He just lost his seat—in the primary. To a man whose name is Dave Brat. This Brat is a Tea Party guy. I have done no research on this person, no one in the world knows who he is, but the word is he ran hard against Cantor on immigration. He celebrated his out-of-nowhere victory by quoting the Bible in a nasally, irritating voice. On the upside, later Eric Cantor! Here are numbers from MSNBC (where they are throwing a par-tay tonight):

In a shocking upset, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost the Republican primary in Virginia to tea party challenger and virtual unknown Dave Brat on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

Cantor, the second highest-ranking member of the House was defeated by Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, in the 7th District GOP primary by a commanding 55% to 44% margin with 100% of the precincts reporting their results...

Cantor was viewed as next in line to succeed as House Speaker if John Boehner were to retire next year, and was expected to easily defeat his conservative challenger. Eric Cantor’s internal polling had him up 34 points...

Those economics professors.
